Katherine Theodora O'Connell

Favorite college memories: “Learning about and the systems engineering process in senior design. Working with UAVs in 483. Solving design problems in 353. Wind tunnel experiments in 460.”

Immediate plans: “Starting a position at Collins Aerospace in Cedar Rapids, IA in Mission Systems.”

Where I’d like to be in 5 to 10 years: “I would like to get my M.S. and to have enough experience to be able to mentor other young professionals joining the industry.”
